Hehe. It's obvious it's Arkansas.
The Riddler
Why don't we do pure math instead?
The Riddler
More specifically, factoring! Who doesn't love factoring a polynomial?
The Riddler
Question 11: Factor the following trinomial.
The Riddler
Don't know what a polynomial is? It's basically got multiple things, or terms! A trinomial in particular has three.
The Riddler
Like... x2 is a term, 3x is also a term, and so is 2!
The Riddler
So how do I factor them? Well, you'll have to figure it out...
The Riddler
Still stuck? Think of good ol' addition and multiplication.
The Riddler
Good luck...

*Factor the following trinomial:
x27x+10

(x+2)(x5)
(x2)(x5)
(x2)(x+5)
(x+2)(x+5)
